WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT CORTÈZ

This is us, rocking the Cortèz jacket! We are passionate skiers and outdoor enthusiasts with an extensive background in clothing production, fashion and entrepreneurship.

As the founders of Sqetch.co Wiebe and Wouter have helped hundreds of fashion brands and clothing suppliers to grow their business.

We're on a mission to create lasting outdoor experiences and re-green our planet. That's why we partnered up with Justdiggit and started to cool down the planet. For every jacket sold we re-green 50m2 of land on the foot of the Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) to reduce global warming.

At Cortèz you don't buy to get, you buy to give.

OUR DESIGN PROCESS

This is outerwear you are going to love, so we want to make sure it lasts.

Together with the most respected manufacturers in the industry we are ready for our second collection.

Highest quality products, outstanding design and build to last.

EXCELLENT VALUE: SELLING STRAIGHT FROM THE MANUFACTURER

SPECIAL THANKS

Our first early supporting backers from our 1st and 2nd Kickstarter :)

We would love to thank our family and friends for their support during the Cortèz journey so far, we couldn't have done it without you!

Let's hope together we can make this a huge success!

This campaign is promoted by Backercamp. Since 2012, Backercamp has helped 5,000+ creators make their projects a reality, raising over $200MM through crowdfunding.

Risks and challenges

Our team combined has over 40 years of manufacturing experience in outerwear and high-performance products. This is our third Kickstarter project and we have delivered thousands of products all over the world. Feedback has been incredible and we couldn't have arrived here without the Kickstarter community.

However, we understand that no campaign comes without challenges. And over the years we have become pretty good at managing the production process and setting accurate expectations. We only partner with the best manufacturers in the industry and have already booked all production lines way in advance. This allows us to secure production output according to our pre-set timeline.

Although certain things like custom delays are difficult to predict, we made sure our schedule allows for delays and unforeseen circumstances.

In any case, we'll make sure to update you frequently on our progress and keep the process as transparent as possible!

Thanks for all the support! We couldn’t do this without you. We are excited to take this next step in our journey with the Kickstarter community!
